Master Robert has been certified by two universities in mindfulness. I listened in to one or two of his courses on ZOOM during that accursed COVID. Lots of living in the moment, acceptance, forgiveness, meditation and lots of stuff my limited vocabulary prevented me from understanding. On one of our walks Master Robert tried to give an example of mindfulness. Instead of walking me with a mind racing to and fro he explained the mind should be focused in the moment. Feeling the pavement under your feet, focusing on the natural beauty and ugliness about you, sniffing the breeze, feeling the cold. And some psychotherapist called Marsha Linehan in her book “Building a Life Worth Living” (which I think is a doctor of the human brain?) saying radical acceptance is the key to moving on. All this for the moment stuff! As a West Highland Terrier I could be the next John Kabat-Zinn that human mindfulness guru as this is the essence of a dog. It is the moment! So dog owners realize that it is “the moment” that counts for both you and I. Enjoy your dog in the present moment as that is the moment you are living in. And “radical acceptance” and death. We will get to that shortly as my memoirs are soon ending as is my 40 days on earth before I must go up to The Land Beyond.
